The problem seems to be that
- init_usm() calls setup_engineid() before reading config files
resulting in an initial UCD_RND-based engineID
- the "oldEngineID" handler oldengineID_conf() just puts the string
into the global oldEngineID variable, *not* changing the
global engineID variable
Calling setup_engineid() again in oldengineID_conf() doesn't help
since it has:
case ENGINEID_TYPE_UCD_RND: /* UCD specific encoding */
if (engineID) /* already setup, keep current value */
return engineIDLength;
i.e. it doesn't change an existing engineID value.
While I'm thinking that the "oldEngineID" handling qualifies as a bug,
I feel like missing the general idea behind this particular implementation.
Please, can someone (who knows more about the history of this code)
shed some light on this?
